Films: Contagion and Warrior

Both films were good. Neither was great. Contagion was a strange one. Very even movie. Strangely unemotional for the most part and the type of movie where you don't really have anything to root against - making the victories not seem as great. Did some interesting cuts in storytelling to show how they made progress against the virus.

Warrior in some ways the opposite. Do really good job of creating insurmountable odds and melodramatic moments. Very cliched movie, but also demonstrates why many cliches work and continue to work. Fighting scenes were great - although for my money - nothing quite topped the very first one. I did shout and groan at the screen a few times, which is always a good sign.

I might've suffered a bit from overexpectations in both movies since I'd heard good things.
